Stat. §13D.05, subd. 3(a).
The City of Crookston City Council voted to approve a conditional-use permit to allow a licensed childcare facility at Parcel 82.037750.01 (410 Ingersoll Avenue).
Ashley (city staff) introduced Item 7.01 as a resolution regarding a conditional-use permit to allow a daycare/licensed childcare facility at the listed parcel. Planning and zoning recommended approval, and staff advised the proposal complied with applicable zoning and the comprehensive plan. A motion to approve the resolution was moved and seconded; the council approved the resolution on a roll-call vote. Council members recorded “Aye” and the mayor declared the motion carried.
Earlier in the meeting the council approved the meeting agenda and the consent agenda by roll call; both motions carried with affirmative roll-call votes from council members present.
The council later approved a motion to close a portion of the meeting to discuss the city administrator’s performance, citing the Minnesota statutory authority provided in the meeting: Minnesota Statute 13D.05, subdivision 3(a). The motion to close the meeting was moved and seconded; the council voted by roll call and the motion carried. Following the vote, staff asked members in the chambers to step outside until the closed session began.
No specific conditions, permit-execution timelines, or additional permit restrictions were stated on the record during the discussion presented in the transcript. Planning and zoning staff advised the council that the conditional-use permit was "in compliance with all applicable zoning and comprehensive plans," but no further administrative conditions were read into the record during the motion and roll call presented in the transcript.
Other brief council items reported later in the meeting included notice that a rezone consistent with the downtown development plan would be on a future agenda, the EDA’s plan to host a rodeo in September, and thank-you remarks about street-cleaning; these were reported as informational updates and did not produce formal action during this meeting.
